A generator shop owner in Bali, New Taipei City, complained that his son was not successful. In a rage, he set fire to his company, burned his money-making tools, and even threatened his son to donate the company. Not only did he lose more than 10 million, but the relationship between father and son also broke up. In the end, he was raped Public Danger Prosecution.
The firefighters tried their best to save the generator with water, but they still couldn't save the tens of millions of generators that were burned into scrap metal and flooded with water. The man in the coat stood aside stunned. It turned out that the fire was set by the owner of the generator shop himself. It turns out that 62-year-old Boss Huang was dissatisfied that his son was still not married and started a family at the age of 37, and that the company was not running well and was almost useless. In anger, he poured diesel on the money-making tools and set them on fire. He also said that he would donate the company. Because the company was registered in the wife's name, the police later informed her that she could file a public danger complaint against the husband.
A fire destroyed the hard work of many years of operation, and the already precarious relationship between father and son was also burned to ashes. I am afraid that he will have to face relevant legal liabilities in the future. Boss Huang has really lost his wife and lost his army.
